Wow. Thank you for that. Great to see pre-Mitchell Joni, and great to be reminded that my idols existed as artists even before they became stars.
Even now, 40 years after I first heard her sing, her voice gives me goosebumps and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Thanks for that.
Joni the one and only. Her innocence is glowing and makes me remember mine....Thanks !!
Joni has a special place in my pantheon. She often helps me get down the stairs in the morning. I forgot how dewy and genius she was !!
Thanks, DM for being so in tune...
